About:
Apache Tomcat is an open-source implementation of the Java Servlet, JavaServer Pages, and Java WebSocket technologies. It provides a pure Java HTTP web server environment for executing Java code. It is widely used for deploying dynamic web applications built with Java EE standards.
Key Features:
  • Java Servlet and JSP container
  • Lightweight and fast startup
  • Robust security features
  • Extensive documentation and community support
Use Cases:
  • Hosting enterprise Java web applications
  • Developing and testing JSP/Servlet applications
  • Serving dynamic content for Java-based backends
Alternatives:
  • Jetty – Jetty is often chosen for embedded scenarios due to its smaller footprint and modularity.
  • WildFly – WildFly is a full Java EE application server, offering more features but with higher resource consumption than Tomcat.
